Hmm, something is wrong.

Here is mine.

Here is my newest aquisition. Let's get ready to rumble?:-) Mind helmets and weapon on the back!

This is what I have found in Wikipedia:

Mit der Mobilmachung 1914 wurde die Fußartillerie schließlich aufgelöst und auf Heeresgruppen und Armeen verteilt. Bei Kriegsausbruch standen bereit:

• 26 schwere Feldhaubitz-Bataillone, Kaliber 15 cm, zu je 16 Geschützen, die den Armee-Korps unterstellt wurden, dazu ein weiteres Bataillon mit 10 cm Geschützen, das dem IX. Reservekorps der I. Armee an der Westfront zu Verstärkung des rechten Angriffsflügels unterstellt wurde.
• 14 Mörser-Bataillone, Kaliber 21 cm zu je 8 Geschützen. Diese wurden zur Bekämpfung gegnerischer Festungen an der Westfront verlegt.
• 5 (3 schienengebundene und 2 motorisierte) Batterien schwere Küstenmörser, Kaliber 30,5 cm zu je 2 Geschützen.
• 3 Batterien 42 cm Mörser, davon 2 schienengebunden.
• weitere 15 ½ Bataillone waren ortsgebunden in Festungen eingesetzt, darunter der Großteil der 50. Reserve-Artilleriebataillone, die über keine Bespannung und keine Munitionskolonnen verfügten.

It doesn't help much but still shows that there were separate Mörser units.

It was sent to Königshütte (currently Poland).

Hi,

Thanks for your help. Chris - I don't think it is Austrian.

I can show you just a part of the feldpost now as I am not at home.

Here it is:

Dear Fellow Members,

I can't find anything about II Bataillon Mörser-Regiment 6 (this is what I can see on a feldpost). I have tried with Ruhmeshalle... but with no effect.

Additionally, can anyone provide me with information about where this unit was located at 14 October 1915?

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Marcin

I am not sure at all. In my view, gentleman on the right looks like from post-1918 era.

Dear fellow members,

Can anyone tell something about the below pictures? Like period, unit / dates?

I'd really appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Marcin

Am I right that picture from post #126 shows Kgl. Bayer. Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 8 ? Was it part of Alpenkorps?

Felix vB would you please share some more pictures from WWI period with us?

Thanks,

Marcin

KIR would you please post here the direct link to the picture, as Feldgrau forum requires registration? Thanks!

Is there anyone interested in Imperial German Militaria? :(

This is impressive. How long it took to collect so many Rohr documents?

I am sorry for off-topic but what scanner do you use? Scans are really perfect.

Just wanted to show you my Edelweiss photo.

And the reverse.

Click on the photo to enlarge.

Kind regards,

Marcin

And here is the whole family.

Dear All,

About two years ago, I bought a quite standard picture of a young (I think, but obviously I may be wrong) Leutnant of (bay.) Infanterie Leib Regiment.

(click on the thumbnails to get a bigger picture)

Few days ago I bought another picture that I find very interesting due to the fact that (i) there is a highly decorated General and (ii) the above Leutnant (?).

Here is the close up:

Now, do you think it is possible to tell anything more about this, as I assume, family? Like the exact period / units / awards?

I would really appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Marcin

This is really great. Would you please show us some of your Militarpasses and Soldbuchs? Do you have any dog-tags in your collection?

Freiwillige would you please share your article as soon as it is published?

Regards,

Marcin

Thank you all for your kind answers.

Just for your information, the spange was stolen during delivery (as I assume, after I have received an empty and destroyed envelope).

Kind regards,

Marcin

Naxos, thank you so much for the information. I thought L always indicates Luftschiffer, obviously I was wrong. Do you have a photo of complete uniform of this unit? (GDR 23).

Here is mine. I know it is (L)uftschiffer, but still would appreciate some more information (particularly rank and/or unit).

Regards,

Marcin

Claudius thanks for your reply. Will show the back too as soon as I have it delivered.

Dear Fellow Members,

I have bought a new, small medal bar (see below). I think it is 1870/71 war.

I would appreciate your thoughts on how to clean it with no harm to the material.

Kind regards,

Marcin
